Biography
Arkady Lubczanski was born in Congress Poland, Russian Empire to a family of Jews, and he decided to join the Bielski Otriad during World War II rather than flee from Nazi Germany and fear for his life. Lubczanski was vulgar and rude, and he was an arrogant person who opposed Tuvia Bielski's leadership of the otriad. On one occasion, he claimed that he had been elected leader of the group, promising more food to the fighters and less food to the rest of the refugees. Bielski responded by executing him and throwing his body to the wolves.
